Jumping rope exercise safe for scoliosis
I have congenital double curve scoliosis, wanted to know if jump rope/skipping exercise will progress my scoliosis if I do the exercise everyday for 15mins. Currently my scoliosis does not need any intervention as per the doctors. Although I do experience pain and discomfort if I sit for long time.
Please advise if jump rope/skipping exercise will progress my scoliosis

It will be advisable to avoid excessive compressive forces on already compromised vertebral anatomy . Your treating spine surgeon will be a best person to advise about jumping/skipping exercise.
Safe and best way to maintain & strengthen your spine will be yoga & Suryanamskar.
